What is the evidence currently available on the impact of anti-diabetes medication on obesity and on cancer risk? How should this evidence be interpreted and associated with evidence on the role of dietary quality and dietary diversity in cancer prevention? What are the differences and similarities between study results on diet, body weight, and cancer in adults and in children? To find out, join the next International Agency for Research on Cancer–European Society for Medical Oncology (IARC-ESMO) webinar.
The 12th instalment in the IARC-ESMO webinar series will be broadcast live on Tuesday 22 July 2025 at 15:00 CEST. The topic of the webinar will be Nutrition, Diet, and Cancer. The event, which will last approximately 1.5 hours, will include three presentations and a question-and-answer session. Dr Inge Huybrechts, a scientist in the Nutrition and Metabolism Branch at IARC, will chair the event.
In the introduction, Dr Huybrechts will provide a quick overview of the wide scope of research on nutrition, diet, and cancer, considering both adult and child populations and different regions of the world (i.e. high-income as well as low- and middle-income regions). Nutrition (i.e. malnutrition) and dietary factors (i.e. dietary quality, dietary diversity, nutrient adequacy, etc.) will be discussed in the context of cancer prevention and treatment.
In the second presentation, Dr Elena J. Ladas, Sid and Helaine Lerner Professor for Global Integrative Medicine at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, USA, and Director of the International Initiative for Pediatrics and Nutrition, will present current evidence related to dietary quality, body weight, and childhood cancer.
In the third presentation, Dr Neil M. Iyengar, Co-Director of the Breast Oncology Programme and Director of Cancer Survivorship Services at Winship Cancer Institute, USA, will present current evidence on diet, body weight, and cancer in adults.
The IARC-ESMO webinar series aims to provide new perspectives or to present new research, to complement the large variety of educational resources that are freely accessible from the online learning platform of the IARC-ESMO Learning and Capacity-Building Initiative on Cancer Prevention. The webinar series is organized with the support of and in collaboration with the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO).
